Background and Objectives

Background

During the past decade, due to the BSE and dioxin crises and other feed related incidents, the crucial role of feed safety in food safety has become more and more apparent. This has led to enforcement of regulations, increased activities of the feed sector to safeguard feed safety, establishment of risk assessment systems and international cooperation to improve detection capabilities. The 3rd International FEED SAFETY Conference is organized to present the state of the art and to discuss future challenges.

The conference is organized in the framework of the EC supported project « Detection of presence of species-specific processed animal proteins in animal feed » (SAFEED-PAP). The conference is organized in collaboration with the COST action Feed for Health (FA 0802), Working group 2 – Feed Safety and Working group 3 – Feed Supply.
